LUESD Volunteer/Chaperone Application

Lemoore Union Elementary School District (LUESD) welcomes and encourages parents, guardians, grandparents, as well as other patrons of this district to become involved in neighboring schools by volunteering their spare time or by serving as a chaperone for school field trips.  We appreciate your interest in participating in the District Volunteer/Chaperone Program. Please complete the LUESD Volunteer/Chaperone Application and submit all information requested.  

NOTE:  Please be prepared to provide proof of Adult Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance Documentation at the time of application submission, by uploading the following file types (PDF, JPG, PNG).  Adult Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessment Certificate of Completion or a Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Test Clearance. The TB Clearance must be dated within the past sixty (60) days from the date of this application.  The 60 days may be waived, if a valid TB clearance copy is provided from another California school district within the last four (4) years, or for military or corrections personnel who may provide a TB clearance within the last 12 months.  Please contact the school site secretary for further guidance.     

All information submitted by applicants is confidential, and managed through Raptor Technologies' secure server and will not be shared outside the volunteer/chaperone program.  It is very important that the information you enter on the application matches your government issued identification card including your full legal name.  It is important that you provide a valid email address so you can be notified as to the status of your application and for future communication. If you are unable to provide an email address, you may use the district’s email address.  As part of standard school safety practices, all volunteers/chaperones and visitors to LUESD schools must provide a photo ID upon their initial visit to any District facility.  

Once you've completed the online application, you must visit the school site to have your government issued identification card scanned, in order for your application to be finalized. Upon approval of your application, you will receive instructions regarding next steps.

For assistance with your volunteer application, please visit the campus where you wish to volunteer.   

Thank you, 
District Volunteer Coordinator
